[DM CHIMNEY HAN]
Soooooo, something you wanna tell me Buckaroo?
🤨
context?
You NEED context?
I have no idea what you’re talking about 😅
I mean, is the fact that you and Eddie are finally seeing each other not just the obvious context?
what on earth else could I be referring to?
we’re WHAT!???
Eddie and I aren’t seeing each other???
except in the literal sense that we have eyes and we see each other with them
Buck. C'mon. Nothing's secret at the 118
You can be honest with me
I AM being honest with you!
Who am I going to tell? Except Hen and Cap and Maddie
seriously Chim
we’re not together
... you're not seeing Eddie?
🤨
again, no, not except for literally
what made you think that?
so ... is it a friends with benefits thing, or what then?
if there are benefits I’m missing out 😂
we’re not sleeping together
okay
wow
so
WHY are you wearing his clothes? and you came into work TOGETHER!
oh 😅
I slept at his house last night so we carpooled
and his hoodie is super soft
so I stole it
lol
... you're taking his clothes and staying at his house, but ... nothing else?
yeah?
I mean, I cook for him sometimes
.... most of the time
And he ... doesn't know that you're in love with him, then?
............
I'm not in love with him…
Oh PLEASE
did Maddie tell you????
She didn't need to
I’m gonna kill her
Don't you dare say a word to her!
She didn't tell me anything I can't see with my own two eyes, Buckley
well idk what you're seeing but there's nothing going on between me and Eddie
there should be
it's getting embarrassing watching the two of you dance around each other
Eddie's not into me that way
😂
Yeah, he definitely is, Buck
no he's not?????
he's MY best friend Chim, I think I'd know if he wanted me physically
sounds like you'd be the last to know
omg have you been talking to people about us??
not people
Just Hen and Cap and Maddie
😩
great
well
since when are you so shy, Buck?
I’m not shy!
you normally go after whoever you want and tell us all about it in excruciating detail
I'm being practical
I'm not about to go after someone who's just gonna turn me down
🙄
okay, well, clearly I can't convince you
What's your plan then, just keep wearing his clothes and cooking his meals and driving to work together?
yes
it's working fine thanks
is it???
what makes you think Eddie's into me like that, anyway?
A better question is what makes you think he's NOT?
don't you see the way he looks at you? Hear how he talks about you?
we’re friends…
Also, I've lived with you Buckaroo. If he's letting you stay with him voluntarily, then he's head over heels in love with you
he’s straight
Sorry, I laughed so hard I nearly coughed up a lung
DON'T LAUGH AT ME
I'm laughing at you thinking Eddie is straight
you don't think he's straight???
NO CHANCE
????
do you have any evidence?
that fact that he's in love with you?
don't play with me, man
Come on, I wouldn't do that
you're 100% serious??
you think Eddie is in love with me too?
yup
Definitely
omg
TOO, HAH
You admitted it
Maddie owes me fifty bucks
SHUT THE FUCK UP
I DIDN'T ADMIT ANYTHING
calm down, kid
Chim 🥺
Yeah?
you really think so?
pinkie swear?
Yes
Pinkie swear
I'm having a heart attack
deep breaths
Where are you? Need me to come and check your obs?
I'm at home
Are you okay?
idk
I can't believe I didn't know???
I can
Somehow, you two are blind to each other
I only wish the rest of us were too
alsdkjaskd
alkfsjlksjdklfjsakdljasl
I have to talk to him
good idea
get together and be happy
as soon as I get feeling back in my legs
seriously, I can come over and check your obs
you know he offered me his bed last night?
WHAT?
How long were you planning on keeping that from me???
he said I didn't have to stay on the couch
if it was uncomfortable
but I said it was fine
WHY THE FUCK DID I SAY I WAS FINE ON THE COUCH???
smh
I'm so embarrassed
he literally offered to sleep with you and you're gonna cling to "he's straight"?
I can never talk to him ever again
You just said!
You were gonna talk to him!
I KNOW 😭
TALK TO HIM
I'll tell him for you
NO
DON’T
OMG
...... would you, though?
c'monnnnn, you know I can't keep a secret 😩
let me tell him and we'll both be unburdened
… okay
tell him
do it
Really?
.................... sure
yep
Okay, I will then
omg
now?
Yep
fuck
stop
wait
what?
have you told him???
… not quite
I’m gonna pass out
okay
do it
🙄
are you SURE?
just rip the bandaid off
okay then
................
have you told him?
has he said anything?
I told him
omg
and??
he hasn't seen it yet
💀
wanna know what I said?
yes
please
"Hey Eddie, Buck's having an existential meltdown about being in love with you and I think you'd better talk to him before he completely cracks.”
WTF CHIMNEY
YOU DID NOT SEND THAT
Well, he knows
TELL ME YOU DIDN'T SEND THAT
💀💀💀💀
okay, I didn't send that
you’re lying 😭
although, I absolutely 1000% did send that
okay I'm gonna go over there
maybe I can talk to him before he sees it
and then I can steal his phone and delete it
............. yeah, about that 😬
……..
too late?
if anyone needs me I'll be on the bathroom floor
so he's seen it?
that's what you're saying?
so my phone tells me
he hasn't replied yet
has he replied?
oh
okay
what do I do
Well, this is probably a wild, left-field idea, but maybe …..
TALK TO HIM???
😒
what if you're wrong?
and he's not in love with me?
Pfft, me, wrong? When has that ever happened?
………
do you want me to answer that?
... maybe not
Okay, Eddie says "wtf Chim”
omg
and then he said "I'll give Buck a call”
I think I'm actually gonna throw up
HE’S WHAT
FUCK
What?
MY PHONE IS RINGING
WAHT DO I DO
so answer it!
💀😭
You didn't answer, did you?
🙃
he’s calling again
damn he's persistent
what're you gonna do?
move to mexico?
I hear it's nice there this time of year
okay shut up I'm answering
You are???
I was too slow 💀
should I call him back?
oh, hey, he texted me again
what did he say??
"Buck's not answering, I'm gonna go over there”
oh
okay
great
Great?
guess I’ll die
Don't die, drama queen
just talk to him in person, it'll be great. You can make out afterwards.
Chim I'm LITERALLY shaking
Look, if you can't talk to him yet, then text him and say not to come over?
no
I can do it
it’ll be fine
it's just Eddie, right?
Right
You got this
you were right
I was?
I mean, of course I was
I'm in love with him
Yeah, you are
I'm SO in love with him
I know, Buck
It’s gonna be fine
It’ll be great
yeah
course it will
……….
okay
if he's on his way here right now
I should change
comb my hair
I have crap all over the kitchen counter 😩
he likes you scruffy, don't worry about it too much
how do you know what he likes?
🙄
I'm not blind and we share a workspace
He practically dribbles when you're scruffed up
… really? 😏
Yup
... is Eddie texting you?
no
should he be?
Idk, he just texted me "Buck still won't reply", but he must mean he's waiting for you to call him back
should I call him?
even though he's on his way here?
Well, he's obviously worried
maybe I'll text him
good idea
Hey, Jee's awake, I gotta go
But let me know how it goes with Eddie
okay
give Jee a kiss from me
Are you okay on your own?
yeah
yeah, I’ll be fine
thanks
I'll check in when I can
You don't need it, but good luck, Buck
thank you, Chim
I mean it
thank you
Hey, you’re welcome, kid
what're friends for?
😊
[DM EDDIE DIAZ]
hey
sorry I missed your calls
Are you okay?
yeah
I got the weirdest text from Chim, and then you've been dodging my calls
What's going on, Buck?
Buck?
BUCK
yeah sorry I'm here
the text from Chim
is true
.............. okay
okay?
that’s it?
So why are you avoiding me then?
because I've never been so nervous in my life
I'm feeling so many emotions right now I'm surprised I haven't just passed out tbh
Eddie, I'm in love with you
and I think.... I hope... you're in love with me too?
Buck, I've been in love with you for a long time
Why are you telling me now?
you WHAT
I DIDN'T KNOW!??
I THOUGHT YOU WERE STRAIGHT
😭
I've never been straight
I'm such a fucking idiot 💀
seriously I had no idea you were into me
but now I keep thinking back on all our interactions and I just???????
WOW I'm stupid
WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING?
Idk ... I sorta thought my actions said it for me and you just weren't interested
I more or less gave up hoping you would ever feel the same
omg I'm so sorry
I'm definitely interested
I've just been the biggest idiot ever
I don't think you're an idiot
😍
are you on your way over here?
Yeah, I am
I was worried when I couldn't get you on the phone
........... why were you having an existential meltdown?
because I was mortified
by how blind I'd been
you oFFERED TO SHARE YOUR BED LAST NIGHT
AND I SAID NO 😭
Yeah, I remember
for the record I absolutely wanna share your bed
I can't figure out if I wanna cry or laugh 😅
Both?
do whatever you need to stabilise. Feel what you're feeling.
I wanna grab your face and kiss you
wow, really?
YES!!
I'm obsessed with your mouth
you are?
sooooo obsessed
huh
wanna kiss it, nibble it, lick it
😳
right. okay, then
is that okay?
it is
I'm just .... spun out, a little bit
how close are you?
Ten mins-ish
I’m so excited
also
I feel like I should apologise
for being an idiot
oh
so
don’t
sorry for-
no?
you don't need to apologise, you haven't done anything wrong
when Chimney has to tell me something very obvious it feels like I've done something wrong 😅
hey, look, would I have liked you to have had this realisation two years ago? Yes, of course. But we play the cards we're dealt, right?
TWO YEARS AGO???
Yeah
I'm figuratively squirting myself in the eye with a water gun
why? what good does that do?
idk I just feel like I deserve it 😅
anyway
you deserve good things, Buck
oh, yeah?
Yeah
you gonna give them to me? 😉
Maybe
hey, so
when you get here
……
Yeah?
how long can you stay?
Until I need to pick Christopher up
😏
what's that face for?
just thinking of all the things I wanna do to you
oh, really?
Like what?
I wanna kiss your neck
and run my hands all over you
and take you to my bed
wow, okay
Buck ... how long have you felt this way?
years
oh
yeah
that's why I feel so stupid 😅
I feel kinda stupid too, dw
you’re not stupid
neither are you
I wanna see your clothes on my bedroom floor
Are you gonna put them there?
Take them off of me?
yep
if you let me
I’ll let you
I might even let you do more than that
I hope so
I feel like I'm floating
I'm so happy I'm giddy
I'll be there to ground you in just a few minutes
💛
Hey
yeah?
Why did Chimney tell me how you feel? Were you talking to him about me?
yeah 😅
he thought we were already together
he waht?
cause we kept carpooling and I was wearing your hoodie
oh
I guess from the outside that could look pretty suggestive
yeah he was pretty convinced
so I had to explain that nothing was going on…
well, I'm glad he told me
and I'm glad you confirmed it
🥰
I really wasn't sure what to think when he sent that text 😅I just immediately began worrying about you in crisis
😅
it was a lot for me
I got emotional whiplash
but I'm good now
great, actually
I've been in a bit of a spiral about it myself
are you okay?
I’m fine
I will be fine
When I see you and I know you're okay
Eddie
I love you
Oh
Buck, I love you
🥰
🧡
are you here yet?
Almost
hurryyyy 😅
I'm just waiting for the elevator, relax
omg
you’re so close
😍
I am
I'll see you in moments
I can’t wait
I'll meet you at the door
You don't have to wait anymore
Open the door
!!
